i didnt understand😅plz break it to me...
In season 4 we cant tell who's the enemy
@@gamerbeast3879 peeps thought the titans was the enemy but in season 4 we cant tell anymore
I admire how he never has to manipulate his soldiers with lies. He tells them the situation as it is and his plan of action. He inspires them and gives them courage instead of trying to control them with fear and cheap tactics.
Charisma was at 120%
Erwin could convince anyone to kill themselves for the sake of humanity

Remember if u want to be a leader, u dont need to be strong like Levi. I know Levi is stronger, far stronger than Erwin, but Erwin is so much better when he Lead. A leader must be wise in making every decision, what is the future, and be willing to sacrifice. Same with Cannon. The people who control the Cannon is weak and not strong, but without the people who control the Cannon, the Cannon would not fire up right? Thats why Survey Corps leader is always weak like Erwin, Armin, Hange, they are not strong enough to kill 200 Titans like Levi, but their brain is what lead them to victory. Also, thats why Erwin wants to choose Hange as a new Leader when he died and not Levi. Why? She is more Senior (if u look at Season 1, when Levi joins the Survey Corps, u will see in front of the line, there is Hange. Which mean, before Levi joins Survey Corps, Hange join first) and also she is a better thinker and so much wiser in making decisions.

That's what makes him a good character
he was really determined about his goals
In exchange of succeeding, sacrifices must be made
@@kimbaldun What Sauron said.
What made erwin a great commander is that he shared his men's burdens, he put himself at risk just as much as his own men. That's the mark of a true leader.
We really should’ve paid more attention when Erwin asked “who do you think the enemy is?” Bro was seasons ahead
What does that mean?
It means erwin knew all along that whole military police was corrupted the royal family was also bad there were traitors in survey corps. This was all proved in season 3 .

@@PorkMoney Armin can never "replace" Erwin as a leader. This is also clearly stated in the anime/manga. No one can for that matter. The best he can ever hope to do is match Erwin in intellect. With all due respect to the character, Armin is a pussy.

very funny
The fact that Erwin was 1000 steps ahead of Erin, Armin, basically us viewers was crazy. He sounded like a mad man but he knew exactly what he was doing and who he was looking for
Geniuses are often seen as insane, because they are not understood by anyone else
True but tbf he had his goal in mind from the very beginning. Only when he learn of the basement he can finally sacrifice himself and end his suffering
Yes he asked the right questions

For me, Erwin was the coolest person in Attack on Titan. Even cooler than Levi... The guy also died a death fitting for a true commander. Legend.
I agree his a total badass and leader to the fullest
I though saving Armin's life was a right decision, but now it is clear that they should have saved Erwin
@Motivation hey chill bro erwins plans lead more steps to victory but major casualties armins plays are sometimes ass but they do sum but not as much but Saving armin was the best choice but chill
What happened already happened
@Motivation All of Erwin's plans were risky, but all were guaranteed success... They would not have succeeded in saving Eren if it wasn't for him, and neither would it have been possible to retake Wall Maria if it wasn't for Erwin. Overthrowing the corrupt government was all Erwin too, including capturing the Female Titan. These among many other things. All Armin did was add support to Erwin's plans.
I am not saying it would have been better to choose Erwin than Armin - Armin is a main character after all. Even I would choose to save Armin over Erwin, but do not disregard Erwin like that. If it wasn't for Erwin, there would be no guarantee for success, and casualties suffered would have been way more than with Erwin.
Erwin’s question to Eren is genius writing. He has no real idea as to who or what the true enemy to humanity is, but he knows it’s not the titans. He is smart enough to realize that there really is something more going on. What a well written character.
Plus his line of sight and the way he’s holding Eren looks like he’s presenting Eren to the audience and asking them who the real enemy is.
Erwin got high on spoilers
@@wrystandata5318 I never thought of this little detail, superb writing
especially revealing the information Armin was saying "why would he reveal so much?" He planned ahead to get the traitors, now we know how he setup the female titan trap.
from this scene, i know he is the man
Ever since the death of erwin all aot characters just feel like they are depressed or borderline suicidal. Even after loosing 95% of manpower erwin still manages to keep troops high in morale. RIP
I mean yea I can see why LOL imagine losing your greatest commander and then learning that the WHOLE outside world despises you
Or lost, have no leader to guide them.
Exactly
And I felt bad for Hange, since she knew she couldn’t get to Erwin’s level of leadership.

"I can always be replaced"
BIGGEST LIE IN ANIME HISTORY
Armin may be "smart", but Erwin is the kinda smart that you realize he was 3 entire seasons ahead with how much he'd figured out completely on his own. Don't know how Armin could have ever replaced him and I don't really blame Isayama for not making Armin live up to Erwin's legacy. Dude was just too good.
A mindset that the Japanes servicemen had in WW2, unfortunately for them it backfired. They let their best pilots stay in combat until they die that at the time of the battle of Philippine Sea almost all their pilots were a bunch of noobs.
It’s always the ones that say this that are irreplaceable
Well Floch did carry on Erwin's legacy.
Armin is just as smart but he isn’t ever going to replace Erwin. No one will ever replace him. 🥲
7:21 I'm always covered with tears when I see it. The commander who finally lived to see the moment when people first time cheered for scouts.
Best commander of all time
🐐
More like it's been awhile since they cheered when the scouts departed he says
🖐🏻
StOPP i dont want to cryy anymoreee
Erwin's not only intelligent, but moral and courageous. That deserves respect.
Exactly
He should have been the collasal titan, levi is my favorite character but he made a decision that made no sense to me, I really didn't expect him to do that
Coz he is jotaro himself, the man with steel balls

Not exactly moral but everything else is true!

@@lionzgamezz3148 not that I know of or anything but I think most commanders drive around in battle to shout orders or to lead soldiers
Edit: After some careful digging and research known as google I figured out most commanders use officers and field marshals to order around and command troops
Alexander the Great: "Hold my horse"
@@justinmorales6342 yeah, that would be logical so they dont die. The commanders and generals have to lead the troops to victory and not die in battle. Erwin rommel, the world war 1 general for instance always charged head on and got injured multiple times, the same Rommel that contributed hugely to the german army in ww1. Soldiers are pawns while the general is the player, without the player there is no game to be played.

Stev Da Great
I feel like he’d be a doubtful commander but would always make the smart decision. Still, Erwin is one of a kind ;-;
All the shit happening now in the manga would be impossible with him as commander.
The fact that this dude could tell you "you're going to die" and accept that shiii with heart is crazy to me

@@viptech_c5286 you are speaking facts but not when erwin led them to their deaths bcuz they ware ready to die with erwin smith aka the goat
@@DatBoyNati Erwin was a slave to his dream that he discovered after that history class with his dad. But then again, as reflected when Levi had to decide whether to turn him or Armin into a titan, Levi didn't inject Erwin because he knew he had to give up on his dream. Levi gave up on Erwin's dream and let him die to free him from that goal. I think Erwin knew this and thus does this suicidal charge, like he did when they were chasing Reiner (he was grabbed by a titan but still told them to move forward).
Best Erwin moment for me is still when he kept saying "Advance!" while being eaten, only to come back and land the decisive blow to free Eren as well with only one arm. That was just ridiculously bad-ass lol.
I thought their mission about to fail when the titan got him..
Heart stopping...

@Dorian Redwine yea 😟
everyone: ok now erwin is gonna do another of his inspirational speeches
erwin: 7:23
everyone: *BEAUTIFUL*
Even without words he is inspiring
Ngl, when I watched that for the first time, I cried. Thinking of what Erwin was feeling. Ever since he became Commander it's always been bleak. Everytime they ventured out of the walls, more soldiers died. Their families blamed Erwin for it. Always.
It's not like he had a choice. Both as the Commander of Survey Corps and as a son trying to prove his father's theory right, defeating the Titans was all he could do. But even with all his determination, with his strategies, the will to throw everything away and Humanity's Greatest Soldier under his command, he couldn't make any significant progress.
But in this moment, for the first time, the people who called Survey Corps a burden on Humanity cheered for them. Actually treating them like the heroes countless deceased soldiers deserved. You can see it on his face, the sheer joy and hope that if they succeed, that's the kind of Welcome they will always receive.
It took countless sacrifices, years of hard work, nerves of steel and the loss of an arm for Erwin to be acknowledged by the people just once.
But he didn't know it would be his last.
I'm sad again now.
@@himanshubhushandubey6446 that's so beautifully said! Yeah it made me sad again, but it's also super accurate, emotional and just how it had to be! I just find it damn amazing that even now after three years he is still being remembered and both fandom and characters won't let go of him
@@amiakeli2682 Same. It's amazing the impact some characters can leave on us and AoT has perhaps one of the best cast of characters I have seen in recent times. And even among them, Erwin was something special. Regardless of how the story progresses, we will probably never be able to replace or forget the Commander.
@@himanshubhushandubey6446 absolutely. I really hope and pray for in s4 they will idk, like build him a statue that would be great. Of course i wish for a happy end, but this must happen (and if this reads a manga reader, they're probably laughting rn, ur welcome xd)
Anyway i think that Armin is able to take his place, among with Hange and Mikasa. He thinks differently, but that isn't necessarilly a bad thing. I believe in Armin.
The fact that the va for Erwin also voices Jotaro who ends up fighting against Zeke whos va also voices Dio is LEGENDARY
And the fact the levi's english dub voice actor voices jotaro and fights zeke makes it a jojo reference
Finally
Floch shares a VA with Giorno and he’s the only one who survived the charge against Zeke. Coincidence? I think not
2:29, isn't that Japanese voice of Old Joseph Joestar? If it's right, then it is more legendary.
@@dark_messenger No but old Joseph's VA voiced Annie's dad.
I only realise this now, but he scared the shit out of them with mortality statistics in that first speech to narrow down the suspects. The imposters had to join regardless of what he said, he wanted as few people as possible joining.

Best detail is how Levi is always left in awe of Erwin’s choices and actions
and thats why he follow him to the end
My man was being carried away by a titan and still told his soldiers to go forward. Pretty sure he had a death wish but still the best commander
He probably did, that Titan could’ve easily eaten him, and he still would’ve given orders
Victory at all costs.
Yeah.
What motivated him to do what he did in Aot was his dream that he had after that one history class with his dad. In the words of Kenny, "Everyone's a slave to something." Erwin was a slave to his dream, and dying would finally free him from that. This is reflected when Levi has to make the decision to save Armin or Erwin. While Erwin would probably be a service to humanity if he were brought back, it would not be a service to Erwin himself. I think Erwin is very well written because of this motivation, and Levi as well because he recognizes he has to let Erwin give up on his dream and die.
I believe Erwin sub-consciously realizes this because he doesn't resist when the titan picks him up, but yeah.
He then proceeded to save Eren too.

7:30 actually one of the happiest moments of the show, Erwin who was hated and disrespacted all along finally found what to so and got the support he never had, onf of my favorite scenes
He won my heart when he kept yelling at them to advance while literally getting his arm eaten by a Titan. His determination and leading skills have made me admire him so much.
This scene still gives me goosebumps.
Same

And people really be out here saying he's selfish. 🙄
@@ostrichfm3244 here’s the thing. A part of why I like Erwin so much is because he’s realistic in a way. He was selfish. He was doing all this just to find out and prove his and his father’s theories. So he was selfish, but then during it all, he realised what he was sacrificing for his own reasons. He changed his mind to save the others; giving up on the entire reason why he started being a commander. That is realistic character development 🤩
it's amazing how isayama actually wrote erwin and his relationship with his men. his men don't fear him but respect and willing to follow every one of his orders entrusting their lives with him just to show you that the recon corpse are afraid of death but are willing to die if erwin says so thinking of it as a sacrifice for the victory of humanity. the trust of them in erwin is just huge. erwin is the GOAT of anime hypemen

i hate how there are people that genuinely think erwin just liked death or sent his soldiers to die for no reason whatsoever. did we even watch the same anime? erwin felt guilty for his actions, yet armin said it himself (not quoting, but i'm sure he said something along the lines of): if you aren't willing to make sacrifices, you can't achieve victory.
erwin sent people to their deaths for a chance to achieve victory.
the people that accuse him of being a monster and that he only wanted death and bloodshed and anything like that forget that he was also the one to create the long-distance enemy scouting formation, designed to have the least amount of titan encounters as possible and avoid death as much as they could. why would he do that if he just wanted to send people to their demise?
anyways, yeah. i can't really change anyone's opinions but whether you like it or not, erwin's character is incredibly well written, and he's one of the best, if not the best in the aot universe, imo.

People forget that when he send people, he will always be the first in line. He got lucky until the time he has not.

> gets his arm bitten off
"ADVANCEEEE!!!"
man's got his priorities, and a pair of gaint ass balls
Wonder if he used his one blade to kill the Titan who bit his arm, or crushed it with those collosal balls
He drowned that titan with his own blood
@Zenith Holocast self advisement isnt cool
main reasons of Ervin having a big impact in AOT
1. He knew everything before anyone knee
2. He knows how to lead his team and never hesistes to give command
3. He was not a Titan shifter and not a Ackerman , than also he had a lot of impact
4. Best decision maker
5. Good view over situations
6. His determination to proove his dad's theory
He is the GOAT
What would have change if levi saves erwin instead of armin??
@@Cricketlive12349 Erwin might have just lead the Attack on Marley himself instead of Eren essentially forcing it. At least that's what I think.
@@Ribsi He probably would have reigned in Eren long enough to put together a proper, actual, effective plan to attack Marley instead of them being forced to attack due to Eren.

Erwin: Who do you think the enemy is?
Manga readers: He already knew everything
Is Eren but is not Eren... complicated world we live in
He knew the enemy were other humans, not Eren.
@@frankorious3023 I'm pretty sure everyone knows that we just fucking around because erwin is a Goat
@@kcire_1063 It's subjective. Those who don't approve of genocide - Eren is the enemy for them but those who actually understand Eren's reasoning considering the history & Marleyans evil deeds doesn't see Eren as an enemy (his actions are evil)
Reiner: Hey, what's up, I'm the armored titan and he's the colossal, we're here to kill you all.
Honestly, the moment Erwin raised his arm as Levi was about to inject him and the flashback came, I teared up like a motherfucker.
This man gave everything to reach the truth, and yet he still didn't make it. He was so close too, so fucking close.
Erwin is the fucking goat, nobody can claim otherwise
I love Erwin’s character and his speeches still give me chills.
But that scene you describe made me realize why Levi choose Armin instead.
Erwin lead a lot of men to their deaths for a selfish idea. He wanted to vindicate his father. He may have said it was for the war but it was only partially true
Overall still a bad ass character
“Just another day for the survey corps. HEHEHEHEHE.”
Edit: The comments are just gonna eventually write down the entire script of that video, in a random order.

I swear, Daisuke Ono's voice for Erwin was the best decision ever
Ever since Erwin died the show just became a dark depressing drama show, no more “lets fuckin go complete an arc and save the fucking world” vibe anymore
true,you describe something that I've been feeling but unable to word it out....it feels empty without Erwin taichou
Exactly.
This is what made the show so amazing. My god it was absolutely amazing. Then season 3 ends kind of weird and season 4 part 1 was shit compared to season 1 and season 2.
The writer ruined the direction this was heading.
@@DaveThaBossDTB I disagree, the later seasons are much better
I still think the show possesses that vibe but it's matured in a way much like the characters. They were all so naive and believed it was them versus the titans, and it was a pretty black and white approach. The monsters vs humanity. But after Erwin dies and they reach the sea, they learn about the outside world and that there's much more complex forces at work. Yea it sucks not having his speeches and spirit, but the scouts still embody that underdog lets save the world vibe. I think the greatest example of this was when they show up to Liberio or whatever and hold their own against a much more advanced military. But yea it is much darker, but I think it's intentional, much like as we mature from children to adults, our world views grow darker (I mean look what happened to all the kids on the show)
@@DaveThaBossDTB completey disagree. S4 adds a whole new perspective and I love the show n writers for that.
You can’t spell Erwin without W-I-N. Facts.

I mean... can u really call those suicide charges a win?
@@davesantos3101 the colossal titan was acquired thanks to eren and his friends, especially armin.
Erwin and Levi was at the other side of the wall facing the beast titan.
The suicide charge was all about Levi killing the beast titan.
Which is something that didn't happen.
In the end of the day, Eren, mikasa and armin gave them a win by acquiring the colossal titan, but even erwin didn't predict that.
Erwin: [Opens his mouth]
Everyone else: *"And then there was peace."*
Legit tho
I think its poetic how Erwin never get to see the answers he was searching for. He was so closed but he never even saw a glimpse of the books.
Just like in real life, no matter how hard working we are, no matter how effective and efficient we are, or how talented and Smart we are, there's those things that can't be allowed by fate.
Its just tragically poetic
Damm I love your thinking
He could actually, Didn't you see his last moments with levi? Telling him what would he do after accomplishing his goal and saying he'll lose his purpose to go forward. And he literally bat Levi's hand away when he tried to inject him.
There's a Greek proverb that says "A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit."
No, you are a fatalist
Psalm 146:4 KJV
His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; In that very day his thoughts perish.
„There is no future with humanity surviving without Eren!“

He was already in season 4, what a legend
All of Erwin's plans involves almost everyone dying. I still love him though :D
Jack Ng hes like every other officer in the military, send people to die for no reason.
JustSaiyanSteve not sure about the no reason part tho, but does other officers plans involve dying themselves?
Levi said this
Oh boy he would’ve loved rumbling
@@justsaiyansteve he didn't send people to die for no reason lmfao. he sent people to die because it was necessary to achieve victory or anything like it, not because he liked it. dude, erwin made a full formation (long-distance enemy scouting formation) to avoid useless deaths and encounters with titans, i think it's a little harsh to put it as if he didn't care about death at all ://
bro when he tells the soldiers to keep advancing while still having his arm torn off by a titan gives me chills everytime. Erwin was a madman
3:54 Erwin: "Give your hearts!"
Me: Goosebumps all over my body.
I wish he screamed it with the charge.
shinzou sasageyou!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nah, anyone can scream valiantly when things are going fine, BUT, 10 seconds later, as you are being LITERALLY eaten alive, feeling how your arm is being ripped off, enduring it and tell your soldiers to keep fighting... that's a new level of Courage
And I’m all over you

Me: *still mourning since 2016* uhm wut??
Im still crying ngl
I don't get it, erwin wants to prove his father's theory, everyone sees him as an essential character for the advancement of the life within the walls, yet he says that he can always be replaced, pretty contradictory and doesn't make sense.
i feel bad because now every time something goes wrong my brain is like: "jUsT aNotHer dAy oN tHe sUrvEy cOrPs hEhEhEHehEhE"

This part 0:57 was always so admirable to me. You have a lot of people in the world that when they need help, the pick and choose what they tell you in fear of not helping but here he’s as honest as you could possibly be because the weight of “life and death” in this situation are critical.
"Who do you think the real enemy is"
Me before reading the manga: what
Me after reading the manga: He's the best good bad guy
Nah he didn't think that far what he meant is that humans inside the walls are actual enemies too which what we saw in season 3, yes his dad taught him about the outside world but it was just a theory he wanted to confirm.
Ignoring your comment for a moment.....I just want to say I love your pfp. Gin is so cute
i read this and I havent read the manga, I am wondering how is he a bad guy. But i dont want spoilers
@@samyakshah2040 yeah you'll know
@@samyakshah2040 Erwin initially thought that Eren made Titans the enemy, that was wrong, the enemies were the humans, the corrupt government and regime, that's what he meant.
That question was meaning “who among the scouts is the enemy”, hence the way he glares at them after asking provoking questions. He knew there were traitors in the scouts, so the expedition was not only to capture Annie but also to reveal Reiner and Bertoldt. They gave Reiner a false location for Eren, and he fell for the trap by sending Annie there.
Also he scared away most the scouts because he knew the traitors would stay.
@@skyguy871 yes lmao that was very genius of him, remember that he also managed to know that a traitor attack was going to happen in that exact fleet, THANK GOD HISTORIA EXISTS, remember that scene when Armin said he would just stay and let Reiner and Jean leave him, he said "I want to you to tell something to the Commander" guess what that was? That was a very close fuck up for humanity
Bruh that's literally story... But he knew their were spies in the scouts because he basically lured them there by informing all the graduating cadets their plans, which then he each gave different location of Eren for everyone. He didn't know who the spies were or where they were going to attack, but it was Armin who figured out that Annie and Reiner were the titans.
Pure freaking genius
I loved that revelation. It's a textbook tool in counter-espionage, used to this very day.
The scene where Erwin was at gunpoint and he just started listing the people in charge... bruh
It is so energizing to see Erwin yell. Even in situations where he knows he most likely wont survive.
"Erwin Smith being the best commander for 9 minutes straight"
Only 9 minutes?
YOU MEAN THE WHOLE SEASON 😚✋
I would say the whole anime
He's the best commander of all time. Like seriously, best ever Commander i have ever seen.
Yeah because he was on screen for only nine min
@@khyatmutneja2327 really? only 9 minute? do you even watch the show? itsonly an edited abridged form
Erwin: "I can always be replaced.."
The whole entire weeb section: say that again
US: SAY THAT AGAIN I DARE YOU I DOUBLE DARE YOU
The only time we dare to disagree with him without any hesitation
Nothing hurt my heart more than when it was revealed that Erwin believed his whole life that there were humans beyond the walls. Imagine living your whole life believing something every average citizen would shun you for saying. Sure the Marleyans did that, but they got the benefit of KNOWING for a FACT that the Eldians are living under a rock. Erwin had to live his whole life with no solid evidence to prove him right until the basement was opened, but it was too late by then.
When they revive armin, at the moment i was happy, but as the story progressed, it was clear that reviving erwin was the right call.
HOW were you happy??????????? i don't get it like HoW??????? Erwin getting that injection was the right choice but it didn't happen I am still so mad about that
I watched a bunch of reaction video recently to recap everything prior to final season, majority of the reactors love Erwin a lot, until the episode of choosing between Armin and Erwin, literally all of them forgot how great Erwin was, and keep yelling to give the injection to Armin, their reaction and facial expressions disgust me so much. Immediately after Armin ate Bertolt, none of them talks about Erwin anymore, like he never existed before
I'm not trying to say that all of them should agree to choose Erwin, but at least show a bit of sympathy or pity to my man Erwin Smith
I love Armin but even in that moment I knew that Erwin's selflessness and noble ways were pure hearted almost to a fault.
That being said, Armin was kind of needed to stop Eren later on, so who can really know what would have happened
@@ChibiNaruto It's because that episode as a whole literally gasslit us into choosing Armin. When they stand on the roof, and argue about who they should chose, they are literally summing up everything great that Armin has done, but they do not do that for Erwin. Because of that, we are led into a false sense of belief that Armin did more than Erwin (which is far from truth). It's soley thanks to Erwin and the hard choices only he managed to make, that humanity inside the walls does not get wiped out by a foe they didn't even know existed
his voice making him more badass like he's about to summon star platinum
I like the voice actor, when there is a fight scene or anything involving danger or hype in general he really gets to you
All I can hear is Jotaro...
his soul is probably still devoting the soilders to carry on,
YES
SUSUME!!!
Erwin: I can always be replaced
Everyone: NO, YOU DON'T
Right...
yeah true :(
This Commander,Man...I salute him from my heart. He is such a strong and inspirational person,even tho he is not real I got a lot of inspiration from him.
I feel like the most admirable thing about Erwin was not his ability to make the cowardly brave even when he lead them to their demise, it was his decision to be in the front-lines with the troops.
2:23
That was always one of my favourite Erwin moments. Dude is 5ft away from getting flattened as all the mp run away from the severed arm and debris. Erwin doesn't even blink and just watches the fight intensely.
Fav moment too
7:21 greatest scene in the whole show.

3:55 love this part, particularly when he says "advance" after getting jawed by a titan, also the followup when erwin cuts loose eren from bertholdt is awesome.
erwin is my favorite character (along with eren), and erwin has got to be the most consistent character on the show, that guys persona doesn't miss a beat.
